> This is the market at work We hear this in the UK quote a lot about the pay of charity CEOs e.g. National Trust ( looks after old houses ) £180k salary, Dogs' Trust is £120k, Salvation Army £150k. I think it's the result of the Boards and Trusts of organisations being staffed with Directors of other market organisations, rather than those concerned with the charity alone. To them these salaries are par for the course, whereas to the potential donor looking in it is difficult to associate the levels of renumeration with the goals and performance of the charity.
